You may have an image of the Algarve in your head that is one of a typical tourist hotspot, with nothing more to offer than beaches and the sea. While it is certainly true that the Algarve does have an abundance of this to offer, (it is a coastal region) it also has a great deal to offer by way of activities, therefore making it a popular destination, which attracts more and more tourists every year.

If you are wondering just what activities the Algarve has to offer,

then wonder no more. With the useful list that has been compiled below, you will definitely be able to plan a fun-packed trip, should you decide to go to this fantastic place.

Paragliding

We are definitely not starting off with one for the faint hearted, as paragliding is one for the more hedonistic. With the unique thrill of whizzing about in the sky, this is about as close as it gets, to being a bird. Although it can seem really scary, you should be up and away in no time, with some wise words and a bit of encouragement from your instructor.

Surfing

All right, so surfing is something you can do easily back home, but there is no better place to do it, than in the Algarve. For a start the sea is lovely and warm, (even in the winter) and there is never any wind. The Algarve is a popular surfing destination for people with various experience and ability. It has areas with waves that are better suited to beginners, right up to some seriously big waves, that should only be attempted by the highly skilled. The beaches are awash with places to hire boards from and to get lessons, so it is something that is really accessible.

Skydiving
Arguably the most daring of all the activities on this list, skydiving is the type of thing that people either will, or will not do. However, if you do decide to go to the Algarve and skydive, you will certainly have something nice to look at as you fall towards earth.

Kayaking

Sea kayaking is more fun than the vast majority of boat orientated activities. Marvel at the sights that the Algarve’s cliffs have to offer you, as your sea kayaking guide introduces you to various grottoes and caves. Float about and be part of the flotsam and jetsam. It really is fantastic, and will certainly give you something to talk about once you get back off your holiday.
